Kimbo Espresso Napoletano Whole Coffee Beans, Dark Roast, 1kg Bag

Straight up, no nonsense cup of java. Bought this on a whim, cos the price looked right and I have to say it didn't disappoint. No crap about hint of chocolate, caramel, nuts or whatever. Just good, great tasting coffee. Dark roast so taste is a bit intense but i wouldn't say strong. Goes great with milk or black (preferred). Will definitely buy again.

The best espresso you can find. I’ve been buying this coffee for years and it never disappoints. The flavour is rich and intense, exactly what you’d expect from a proper espresso. The aroma when you open the bag is incredible. I always buy it on Amazon because the price is consistently good, the quality is reliable, and delivery is fast. Highly recommend.

Lovely strong great value coffee. Dark roast, tastes lovely from my ninja luxe, very smooth taste, great value for the price.

The Espresso Napoli beans received did not disappoint, especially after trying some "specialty coffee" free with the purchase of a Sage Impress espresso machine. I never had such an acidic coffee in my life! Completely the opposite of the Jimbo Espresso Napoli. I do prefer a dark roast to a light one. The beans received were roasted 6 month prior delivery and with an expiration date of June 2024, so plenty of life left in them, but that's inrelevant as it will be consumed within 2 weeks. 🤪 The grind settings needed for this coffee needed to be 7 numbers coarser than a medium roast. Taste: It taste very similar to an espresso from a bar in Italy. Using a single wall basket, I am getting some crema. The aroma is there too but not high. The taste is pleasant, no trace of any acidity, which is pleasing to me but it's not long lasting. You can find a bit better elsewhere but you can find allot worse too. If you haven't tried the kimbo's range yet, it's not a bad place to start from, you'll never know, you'll might like it. I am exploring espresso coffee but I'll be buying some more of the Espresso Napoli as a backup.

Fantastic coffee beans the smell and taste is amazing would highly recommend these

These beans make a very dark, strong, delicious coffee. Like no other coffee I've tried. Well worth the money. Try it if you like a very dark and strong coffee. I have a Sage espresso machine and a Bialetti moka pot. Makes great coffee in both

You can't make a good espresso in England because of the water ,temperature and other things,it's also personal taste. This is a lovely dark roast,but the smell and taste is too weak for me,for that reason for me it's only a 3 star.

Naples turned dark roast + Robusta into an art form. It's not trying to be delicate — it's trying to be powerful, comforting, and timeless. Basically: if espresso had a punk rock version, this would be it. Intense bittersweet chocolate, toasted nuts, heavy body, rounded bitterness. No fruit, no acidity. It's bold and rich.

Kimbo’nun bu ürünü genel olarak oldukça başarılı. Aroması ve tonlamaları kendine özgü, gayet dengeli. Sadece kavrulma seviyesi bana göre biraz yüksek olsa da, lezzet profili genel anlamda çok tatmin edici.

あのエスプレッソ用の家庭用簡易コーヒー沸かしで淹れるだけで，たいへん美味いエスプレッソが入る。昔はイタリア人がこれが最高というエスプレッソ用の粉を買っていたが，どうも美味く淹れられなかった。簡易コーヒー沸かしだからしょうがないのかと諦めていたが，この豆で淹れたら前述の如し（もちろん泡までは再現できない）。またエスプレッソを楽しめるようになった。

I had read some good things about Kimbo on various espresso forums online, so wanted to give this a try. I am using a Niche Zero grinder paired with a high end dual boiler machine. First impressions are that these beans are exuding of roasty, smoky flavor. There is not much of that classic chocolatey Italian espresso flavor. Just way too bitter. I have been pulling ristrettos given the roast level and have tried varying shot temperature, but it just feels like a cheap commercial grade coffee. I bought this purely for exploration, but don't think I can recommend it to others. One can find better things for the same amount of money. For instance, Illy is better, Malabar Gold is quite awesome, etc. Also, I bought this at the end of September 2022 and the beans were roasted on March 2, 2022. Was not expecting fresh beans through Amazon anyway, but including it here as some useful information.

Kahveyi, İtalya'nın önemli kahve markalarından birisi olduğu için tercih ettim. Lezzetli mi ? Sayılır. Espresso yaptığımda, kreması iyi, lezzet olarak fena değil. Ancak aromalar zayıf kalıyor. Bu da muhtemelen kahvenin paketleme tarihinin (dolayısıyla kavrulma tarihinin) bana ulaşmasından 14 ay önce olmasından kaynaklanıyor. Kavrulma tarihi daha yakın bir kahve ile muhteşem bir deneyim olacağını düşünüyorum.

Excellent coffee. Full bodied, but smooth; without bitterness and with chocolate after tones. 💯 recommend!
